OneWed Loves Us!

Now I know that we really want to leave the engagement ring shopping up to the gallant groom. But we all know that sometimes he may need just a little, ummm, well, assistance. I know that he wants to do well. God love 'em. But it doesn't hurt to drop a few hints.

You all know that I love anything vintage and antique when it comes to weddings. I love all of the history behind it. Vintage wedding dresses, antique veils, a gorgeous vintage brooch, or your grandmother's precious white gloves. It all appeals to me. I think that it can make the day very special.

So it should come as no surprise that I went "gaga" over these gorgeous one-of-a-kind antique engagement rings at Brilliant Earth. These rings are exquisite. The designs are very unique; indicative of the times and that old world charm. You have to love the intrinsic details like milgrain, eight prong settings, etchings, and other time-honored traditions that so elegantly represent the craft of jewelry-making of days gone by. Spanning eras from Victorian to Edwardian to Art Nouveau and Art Deco right through to Retro, your options are boundless.The best part is that these rings are an eco-friendly choice since no additional mining processes are required.

Brilliant Earth is a sustainable company. If you would rather create your own ring, it will be crafted with eco-friendly, ethical practices. Brilliant Earth guarantees that the gem stones and diamonds they use are beyond conflict-free and originate from ethical and eco-friendly sources. Going a step further, Brilliant Earth uses recycled gold to reduce the need for destructive gold mining.

So feel free to forward this post on to him. Tell him that here are some options that will keep his socially-conscious mind clear.
